Good luck with this.
Suggestion: hire someone to pre-populate/categorize your database with the top 500 or 1000 spots in London you want people to rate. It doesn't have to be perfect. You can use inexpensive labor or even Amazon's mechanical turk. If the goal of your site is to get people voting, you can improve your adoption by lessening the focus on data entry, which will be a turn-off for most of your potential useres.
- pmjoyce 17y agoAt the moment I'm steering away from the idea of pre-population. My reason is that if I can streamline, streamline, streamline (as you rightly suggest) the process of adding a site it it hopefully won't be too much of a burden for the user. The very process might help venue submitters feel a greater sense of ownership over the site content which won't be full of the excess clutter of what I deem to be 1000 top spots in London. I don't want to be one person dictating the tone of the site to the users, only they, as a collective, should feel totally free to do that.
